Table of contents
fsdbencap - database encapsulation utility
VRTSvxfs
fsdbencap
application_type filename volname size
The
fsdbencap
utility encapsulates a raw volume containing database table space into a file.
The command may shift the entire database table space residing in the raw
volume to a place in the encapsulated file where the database expects it.
Note that such a shift does not alter contents of the table space and is
necessary only in cases where the table space does not start at the beginning
of the raw volume.
application_type specifies the application that created the database.
Specify
oracle
if the application is Oracle.
Specify
other
if the application is not Oracle.
filename
specifies the file that will be created by encapsulation. For example,
/database/encapfile.
volname
specifies the raw volume to be encapsulated.
By default,
size
is specified in units of disk blocks
(DEV_BSIZE bytes).
However,
you can append
k,
K,
m,
M,
g,
G,
t,
or
T
to the number to indicate that the value is in kilobytes,
megabytes,
gigabytes,
or terabytes,
respectively.
/dev/vx/dsk/dbdg/dbvolset is a volume set that is mounted on
/database.
Volume /dev/vx/dsk/dbdg/dbvol of size 10 gigabytes containing oracle table
space is added to the volume set with the
vxvset
command some time after the file system was created.
The following command will encapsulate the new volume into a file named
/database/dbfile:
fsdbencap oracle /database/dbfile dbvol 10g
